Lending built for the way executives are actually paid.

For CEOs, CFOs and senior leaders whose remuneration is more than a payslip — bonus, equity and trust income given full value, private-bank pricing negotiated on your behalf.

Total client effort, purchase to settlement: under 90 minutes.

Outcomes depend on lender policy and individual assessment. Shown to illustrate how the same package can be read very differently.

The problem

Most lenders read a $900k package as $350k of salary.

Short-term incentives shaded. Equity ignored. Trust income put in the too-hard basket. A recent promotion treated as instability. The result: executives routinely borrow less than their position supports, on worse terms, after weeks of paperwork.

50–80%

Typical shading applied to bonus income by mainstream credit policy — before negotiation.

Common gap in assessed borrowing capacity between the best and worst lender reading of the same executive package.

Value most lenders assign to unvested equity — even with a consistent multi-year vesting history.

What we do

Three things, done properly.

Complex income, fully credited

We maintain a live map of how each lender's credit policy treats every component of executive remuneration — STIs, LTIs, RSU vesting schedules, ESS, distributions, director's fees. Your file goes once, to the credit team that reads it best.

Your time, protected

One structured intake meeting. We deal directly with your EA, accountant and solicitor from there. Meetings at your office or after hours; everything else is signatures and decisions. Total effort: under 90 minutes.

Structure and discretion

Interest-only strategy, offset architecture, clean deductibility separation, lending via trusts or companies — signed off with your accountant, never around them. And your personal position stays out of the bank that runs your company.

The process

Ninety minutes. Total.

Approval to settlement

Signatures and decisions only. We manage valuers, solicitors, discharge teams and the bank — and report at each milestone.

Access

Leverage you can't get at a branch.

Relationships with the private and premier divisions of the major banks, plus specialist lenders for structures the majors won't touch.

For accountants & wealth advisers

We execute the debt. You keep the advice.

Every structure recommendation comes to you for sign-off before lodgement. One document request, in your format. All referral arrangements disclosed — or none at all, if that suits your practice. Judge us on one file.
